The bit I found rather encouraging, if a little confusing, was:
"Does the XML/PDF form designer support XForms?
XForms is an emerging standard from the W3C that Adobe has participated in the development of since the inception of the working group. Our XFA definition is designed to integrate with XForms as it becomes accepted and deployed in the industry. Adobe's implementation of forms technology takes into account the requirement to have perfect fidelity. Adobe's focus is on automating documents - some of which are designed to capture data, others are transaction records, and others are more unstructured."

All the best
